Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and the leaders of United Russia (ER) announced a decision to postpone the second reading of the government bill on certificates of the immune status of citizens who have been vaccinated against coronavirus, have had it or have a medical exemption from vaccination. The main argument is that the document was developed in an era when the delta strain was widespread, and now the agenda is set by the omicron, which may need other approaches. Today, the State Duma Council must decide the fate of the government bill on QR codes on vaccination or COVID-19. As Kommersant found out, among the changes that came after the decision to postpone the second reading of the document, there are new initiatives – for example, those related to the cost of PCR tests and the specifics of using QR codes in federal cities.
